M.K.'s Digital Modeling Stuff

Actions are a set series of animated movements depicting a specific activity, which can often be looped. Actions are used in animations when a character does something a repeated number of times. A good example is walking: instead of animating each and every step again and again, an animator can loop the walking action as many times as they need to.

This is my animation, 0R10N, for the robot arm project. It took me a while but I feel like overall it went alright. Successes: Animation- I think I did an overall decent job with animating the robot (0R10N) itself. It took some time for me to get used to parenting objects it was picking up (balls to throw, in this case) but I managed to get the hang of it eventually. Scene modeling- I wanted to catch the atmosphere of an empty, almost lonely office building late at night, and I think I did a decent job with it. My last full animation (pendulum) originally had a very simple and bleak setting, so I wanted to avoid that by putting some thought into the layout of the scene for this animation. I tried to coordinate the colors and shapes used in the scene without making it too overwhelming. Adding onto that, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I didn't use Blend Swap for anything. (I mean, of course I have nothing against people who did use it! That's not the message...

Here is the storyboard for my work-in-progress animation, 0R10N.
